Portmeirion
Portmeirion Potteries Ltd, a British ceramic manufacturer based In
Stoke-on-Trent, is a significant force in the pottery industry and an established
reputation for high quality and innovative design. Portmeirion manufactures an extensive
range of tableware, bakeware, kitchenware and giftware which are marketed with a wide
range of co-coordinating accessories in diverse materials.
Created by artist Susan Williams-Ellis, Portmeirion Potteries has a
long tradition of quality materials, elegant designs, and extensive collections. Though
Williams-Ellis originally sold her wares only in Portmeirion Village in North Wales, she
began a wider distribution in 1960 after renovating a rundown pottery factory with her
husband, Euan Cooper-Willis. Until this time, the artist had simply decorated preformed
shapes of dinnerware. With the purchase of the factory, she began designing the shape and
structure of the vessels as well.
The result is a collection of exceptionally harmonious pieces, including
tableware, bakeware, and cookware. Many patterns also include coordinating candles and gift
pieces. Within Portmeirion, individual lines take their inspiration from seasonal changes,
birdlife, landscapes, and —most famously — botanical gardens. In 1990, with
outlets in over 30 countries, Portmeirion received the Queen's Award for Exports. Though the
company has an extensive international following, its production and design is still family-run
and family-supervised.

on another link, the link will appear in the same window replacing the

links to other pages within this site will open in the current window.
If a window does not open when you click on a link, check to see if you
are running a pop-up blocker, which you may need to turn off in order
for the new browser windows to open.
Except when you order Microwave

consolidated it here at this site. When you click on a link for a
product, you will be taken to the site that actually offers the product
for sale. In some instances, we earn a small commission from the site
you visit. This is how we are compensated for the work we have done to
bring the information to you. Thank you for supporting this site by
